There's no word on when service would resume. OneJet suspended flights in January as it added new equipment to its fleet. At the time, Maguire told that he expected the route would be profitable almost immediately. OneJet first launched nonstop service from CVG to Pittsburgh in October 2016 using seven-seater Hawker jets. "The opportunity to integrate will further enhance the travel experience and service options for our collective customers, providing a wonderful platform for both organizations' continued growth," OneJet CEO Matthew Maguire said in a release. OneJet said it could announce several new routes by the end of May as it makes various schedule and routing adjustments. Pawlak said OneJet plans to add eight additional ERJ by the end of this year. Together, the companies' networks will serve over 17 cities, including Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Albany, Buffalo, Hartford, West Palm Beach, Kansas City, New York (via Morristown, New Jersey), Chicago, Charlotte, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, Columbus and Raleigh-Durham.Ĭoncurrently, OneJet will continue to accelerate the addition of 30-seat Embraer ERJ aircraft to its network throughout the course of 2018 - the same fleet used by Ultimate. Ultimate will be integrated into OneJet's network during the course of the next month, with flights beginning on June 4. The Ultimate Air Shuttle brand will remain independent and will continue to operate its scheduled services to and from Lunken Airport, east of downtown Cincinnati, as well as private charters for corporate, casino and collegiate clients. By combining these two companies, we're going to have a very strong base for the future." With the capital investment that OneJet has available, and the experience and infrastructure that Ultimate has - our reservation system for example, is one of a kind, and we built that from the ground up - those strengths were quickly seen by leadership teams. "Over the years, Ultimate has been approached by several interested companies, and we always said no," Pawlak said. OneJet, a Pittsburgh-based air transportation network founded in 2015, has experienced accelerated growth with a hefty financial backing. It launched its first Ultimate Air Shuttle service between Cincinnati and New York City in 2009. Ultimate JetCharters was founded 34 years ago, in 1984. He said the companies have similar cultures and growth goals. But the acquisition came together quickly, said Ultimate Air Shuttle managing director Rick Pawlak.
